This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine
With the fire in my bones, and the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the light, so high don't wanna come down
To face the loss of the good thing, that I have found
In the dark of the night I can hear you calling my name
With the hardest of hearts I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if your ever around
Even though it was me who drove us right in the ground
See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry
Gonna run baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind at my back I won't ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart
But the demon in me was the best of friends from the start
So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
And I told myself for the way you go, it rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods in the dark of the night
Palest of the old moonlight
Everything just felt so incomplete
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
With the fire in my bones, and the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the light, so high don't wanna come down
To face the loss of the good thing, that I have found
In the dark of the night I can hear you calling my name
With the hardest of hearts I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if your ever around
Even though it was me who drove us right in the ground
See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry
Gonna run baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind at my back I won't ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart
But the demon in me was the best of friends from the start
So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
And I told myself for the way you go, it rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods in the dark of the night
Palest of the old moonlight
Everything just felt so incomplete
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I Think this song represents a relationship that may have lasted quite a while but had to end on not being able to give all that the other person deserved.
I get lost in the lights, so high, i don't want to come down to face the loss of the good thing that i found knowing that he has done something unwanted he doesn't really want to face what he knew he had coming to him because he knows its going to be 100 times harder than what he thought it would in the first place.
in the dark of the night i can hear you calling my name with the hardest of hearts i still feel full of pain this verse i like especially because its saying that he can still hear her voice over in he's head and just because he's ended the relationship it doesn't mean he's not feeling the pain that she's feeling as well.
so i drink and i smoke and i ask if you're ever around even though it was me who drove us right in the ground it's like he finished with her not wanting to but knowing it was for the best because she deserves better.
see, the time we shared it was precious to me all the while i was dreaming of revelry so he knows he doesn't want this to happen but its the best thing that should happen.
on a run, baby, run like a stream down a mountainside with the wind in my back i don't ever even bat an eye It's like now that he's free he can do whatever he wants.
just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart but the demon in me was the best of friends from the start. it's like he's saying " I knew you are the one who's loved me all along but i always knew we wouldn't last "
and i told myself for the way you go it rained so hard it felt like snow everything came a' tumbling down on me He Knew It was the right decision even though when the time came it hit harder then he expected and hurt more than he wanted to.
in the back of the woods in dark of the night careless, --(?), your moonlight everything just felt so empty dreaming of revelry He Didn't know how alone he would feel Until now.
